4 Good Excuse.
Trom he Yonth's Conlpanion.

FROM me J GUN companion.
George and Sam thought it great fun TO
run away 90 the mill and watch the buzzing
saws tear their way through the dry bolts,
and though they wore ready to obey gener-
ally, they would steal away from mamma
and run 10 the mil every chance they could
get
Boys" said papa one morning, elf you
don't stay away from that mill something'll
gat you, sure" But as soon as papa went TO
work and mamma went upstairs they ran
after him as fast as they could.
Sure enough, just as they came to the
great shinge mill at the foot Of the hill
something ran out at thomL They didn't
know IL was papa with the gray wolf skin
robe over his mead
"1'hare It's. SAM Papa said 'twould
come" yelled George as he turned TO run
Oh how be did run
I'm gong 10 find ont whit IL is,n said
brave SAM standing quite still I'LL IL was
within Ten feet. Bat the awful object was
too much even for sturdy Sam, and he
bounded up the hin after George, shouting
at the top Of his voice
Run, George, rua. let's 90 and take
caro- of mamma She'll be scared Women
always are. Run, George, pnm
They mover visited the nall again without
permission.

The stock market to-day was again weak and
further material declines were established in al
most everything on the active list. The news
OF the day was meagre but generally of char
acter to depress values. The chief disturbing
influence WAS New England London was seller,
especially Of Louisville and Nashville, and con
siderable long stock from weak holders came
upon the market After the meeting of the
New England directors, which proved to be har-
monious, there was rally all around upon eX-
tenslve covering Of shorts. The Improvement
encouraged buying by the bulls and the highest
prices OF the day were reached some time before
the close. Richmond and West Point was
prominent, but heavy to weak throughout
There was good buying in Western Union, but
the stock closed weak Louisville and Nash
vile was sold literally for foreign account, and
at no time in the day did it display any flrmneSs.
Coal stocks, with the exception of Jersey Cen
trail, displayed considerable firmness, while the
remainder of the list were generally heavy most
OF the day. The market was heavy at the open
ing and continued weak until nearly noon, New
England being most conspicuous for the decline
established A general rally then occurred, and
in some cases early losses were regained, but in
the afternoon the general market was dull and
stagnant and little progress was made in either
direction until after 2 p. m, when selling was
again renewed and the market closed active
and weak and in most cases close to the lowest
of the day. Louisville and Nashville is off IA
Richmond and West Point 19s, Union Pacific
and Western Union 1$s, Reading "a, Jersey

fractional amounts. Following are the closing

"The Silver Button. -

Never in the history Of the world, since
Abraham bought the Cave Of Macpeiah
from the sons OF Heth with "Silver cur
rent with the merchant" has silver occu-
pied such low purchasing capacity as in
the year Of grace, 1887. In all ages and
countries gold has been the currency of
the princes, silver of the common people,
and copper OF the extremely poor.
In order TO increase the purchasing
capacity oi silver and elevate 1t to stand
ard equal TO its merits, an order has been
established, styled knights Of the Silver
Button" Everyone admitted into this
order must take VOW by all honorable
means to aid in elsvating the price OF sill
yer, and the consequent reward of its
production. The insignia will be a "sil-
yer button" worn in the top buttonhole Of
the left lapel OF the coat. Monogram X.
S. B. The entrance fee will be five dol
lara; which will include the cost OF the
insignia and postage. The rest OF the
fund will be used for the good OF the
order. John N. Danphy. Commander;
